Polylino

Bookshelves designed for impact

What happens if children never see themselves in books? What happens if children only see themselves in books?

Together with Dr. Ann M. Neely, our children’s literature expert, we’ve shaped our digital library for maximum impact, representation and exposure.

Our book selection represents publishers from North America, Sweden, and the UK, and include illustrated picture books, non-fiction and factual books, fairytales and folklore, and culturally-relevant and diverse stories.
